1. Galactosemia is a disease that will only be expressed when a person is<span><span><span> homozygotic recessive for that trait. It's the same as saying it </span> has</span> 2 recessive alleles.

Dominant allele-</span><span> G
recessive allele- g
</span>
Homozygotic dominant:  GG <span><span>(doesn't express the disease)
</span>Heterozygotic : Gg (doesn't express the disease)
Homozygotic recessive: gg (expresses it)</span>

2.
-Mary has this genotype: G_ . This means it can be GG or Gg
-The exercise already says that justin's mother is GG (<span>Homozygotic dominant)
</span>- If his mother is GG, one of these G's is going to be passed to Justin. So, his genotype is either GG or Gg. Since we are not sure we write as: G_.
Justin's genotype: G_

3.
-
Justin's uncle has galactosemia so his genotype is: gg

-
If the uncle was able to receive two recessive alleles it means the mother had one to pass, and so did the father. However, in the diagram, it's not pointed out that they have a disease so it only leaves one possible genotype: Gg. Justin's grandparents are both Gg.

4. The last person to analyze is Justin's father.
If we crossed the grandparents (Gg x Gg) we could obtain these genotypes: GG, Gg, gg.
Justin's father doesn't express the trait, so it's not gg. That leaves us with either GG or Gg. Since we can't know for sure, onece again we write as G_
Justin's father: G_

Which diagnostic test is used for the direct visualization of ligaments, menisci, and articular surfaces of joints?
Sati [7]

Arthroscopy is done for direct visualization of the ligaments, menisci, and articular surfaces of the joints.  Thus, option A is correct.

<h3>What is the role of ligament?</h3>

Ligaments are type of connective tissue which help to connect bones, joints and organs. It provide support internal parts of the body.

It is made of a band of connective tissue, collagenous fibre and spindle-shaped fibrocytes which is an elastic fibers.

Ligaments holds bones together, stabilize it, provide strength to joints etc.

By the use of Arthroscopy doctors can diagnose and treat the joint’s structural problems like any dysfunction. Hence, Option A is correct.

What characteristic of water causes water to stick to the side of a test tube?
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

The characteristic of water that makes this liquid stick to the side of a test tube is called capillarity (Claim).

Explanation:

Water (H₂O) is a polar molecule with the ability to generate van der Waals forces, which is explained by the 4 hydrogen bonds it forms to bind to other substances. The consequence of the forces of the molecular bonds are four properties of H₂O, including surface tension, cohesion, adhesion and capillarity.

- <u>Claim</u>: The characteristic of water that makes this liquid stick to the side of a test tube is called capillarity.

- <u>Evidence</u>: Cohesion and adhesion of water are properties that come from the forces of the molecular bonds of water, and whose effect is the ability of water to wet surfaces and adhere to a tube that contains it, the latter due to capillarity. Capillarity also allows water to rise through the roots and stems of plants, through their thin vascular ducts.

- <u>Reasoning</u>: <u>cohesion</u> in water depends on the force of attraction between H₂O molecules, <u>adhesion</u> is the capacity of H₂O molecules to join other different molecules and —together with <u>surface tension</u>— make H₂O molecules close to the walls of a glass tube adhere to it, which represents capillarity.

The effect of capillarity is more evident when the test tube is of a smaller diameter, although capillarity and adhesion to its walls always exist, and to a greater degree than any other substance.
